As a fifth grade teacher, bullying is something that I come into contact with on a regular basis. The statistics are downright alarming: The Canadian Safe Schools Network reported that “70% of reported bullying is because they either look or act differently – race, weight, height, clothing, and any physical, religious and sexual differences – can all play a part. Over half of all teens have had at least one negative social networking experience, while an alarming 33% of students who are bullied online, report symptoms of depression.”
